Elephant in the Ring #10: The 800th Super Spectacular Ultra Fun Fun Super 3-Hour Show! (Following Law and Order SVU)

First off, congradulations go out to the World Wrestling Entertainment for it's 800th episode. I have been a long time watcher of Monday Night Raw when it was, actually, two shows (RAW is WAR and WAR ZONE). But there is something that I am peeved about. How many three hour RAWs are going to happen in between 800-100 or even 800-900?

It just seems that the WWE has one every month whether it is a celebration or anniversary or a fake death or someone wants to know who the baby's daddy is. Whatever it is, all they do is slap another hour to the event to try and keep the suspence up, try to make you want to watch the three hours of something that is just as good two hours. Having a three hour show...monthly...gets old if your show is the same time and time again.

Just like the next guy, I love seeing old timers like Honkey Tonk Man, J.R., Golddust, Funaki (kinda sorta), and all the other people that I haven't seen in a long time....but, the thing is, they come EVERY 3 HOUR SHOW! If it isn't Honkey, it's Hacksaw. If it isn't Hacksaw, it's Hogan and so on and so forth. It is the same thing every time. It gets repeatitive.

I am not downing the three hour RAWs, though, I just think that there should be more space between 3 hour episodes and something, like a faked death or "Baby's Daddy" conversation, could be condensed in the two hour morsule. There does not need to be one every two weeks or whenever they do it.

I think if they hold off on the three hour shows, fans will get more EXCITED to see a three hour program. I know, living in Pittsburgh, I was too busy watching the debocale that was Monday Night Football and just caught little points and ditties and all the good stuff. I didn't catch the entire thing because, I think, it didn't catch my...interest very much and that the football game interested me a little more.

Now, since it was the Steeler game...I am not going to sit here and say "If they spread the Spectaculars out, I would watch every minute of this." But I am going to say that, IF they did extend that, I would have watched most of RAW and tune in on the Steeler game from now and then. So, WWE...CONGRADULATIONS ON GOING TO THE NUMBER 800! But because of that, you are THE HISTORIC TENTH SPECTACULAR ELEPHANT IN THE RING! Splendiverous
